Andrea Bragdon, LMHC, LCPC

Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She brings a diverse background that includes work as a counselor, energy healer, and life coach, and she draws on that varied experience to meet clients where they are and tailor care to individual needs.

Originally from Maine, Andrea has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and career or entrepreneurial challenges. She has extensive experience supporting clients who have endured emotional, sexual, or physical trauma as well as those managing family-of-origin difficulties.

Her counseling style is warm and supportive with an approachable touch of humor. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she does not subscribe to judgment. Andrea uses an eclectic mix of methods - including mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, inner-child work, visualization, coaching, mind-body approaches, shadow work, internal family systems perspectives, and occasional NLP-informed tools - and she adapts dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances.

Andrea emphasizes that seeking change takes courage and that she is there to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action that aligns with what matters most. This approach can be useful for chronic anxiety, low mood, and life transitions when the goal is to live a values-driven life rather than eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused method that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each individual’s experience. This style supports building self-awareness, self-compassion, and stronger decision-making in areas like relationships, parenting, and career concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy is woven into her work as well, offering simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, rumination, and coping with persistent emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with clients to explore what resonates, adjusting methods over time to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and geographic constraints, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support even when meeting in person is difficult.
